Breh....if you already think Crawford can beat Bradley and JMM, then it ain't even WORTH talking bout AB because obviously you see something nobody else sees in Crawford

why when somebody think a fighter can beat another fighter its absurd? you dont have to see it or agree with it but you actin like all these P4P list makes nikkas untouchable.

ok...so I am assuming from what you wrote above that AB cannot beat JMM or Bradley either? because Broner's best win was a SD over Paulie? sorry, u my nikka but Paulie aint never been a better fighter than Gamboa.

if Crawford vs JMM happens at 140...I will be here my nikka. bookmark this post and throw in some chips

Got a text asking from someone at work saying why didnt you show up today. Sent a message back saying im an alcoholic who doesnt know what day it is and I dont think this job is going to work out.

When I have a job I pay less attention to boxing and spend more money on alcohol and just become a degenerate. I dont know how to explain this to my mom and my brother because they are mad as fukk at me.

breh...u need to stop with this outclass shyt. you act like Crawford was discouraged. he knew it was only a matter of time before he got to the nikka. fukk 4 rounds. this is a 12 round fight...which Gamboa never saw the end of. this dude was a top amateur. he is gonna beat damn near anybody out there for the first 4 rounds.
what was Rees doing to Broner early in the fight? I'd hate if that was Gamboa on his ass.

Gamboa is highly skilled. yall act like Crawford aint supposed to lose rounds. I cant think of anyone out there that could dominate Gamboa the first 4 rounds of a fight.
it really doesnt matter much what happens in the first 4 rounds but how you finish. ask Zab.

Round 3 wasn't a good look, exactly why im not sold on Crawford at 140........

yeah, but your opinion of Gamboa vs mine is different. I would be concerned if I didnt think he would learn from this. but the signs of a good fighter is growth. we discussed that with Swift. remember, it took me a while to buy in to him. these guys are young and every fight is going to be a learning experience. I am not saying he is ready to run the tables at 140 but he seems more adept than most to be able to deal with the multitude of styles at 140.

Paulie isnt a featherweight masquerading as a lightweight breh.....and again, Gamboa looked shaky in his last fight against a C level opponent and then sat out for an entire year which ='s ring rust. The win was a good victory, but I think you giving a little bit too much credit to Crawford and how he might just run through the 140 division, and even beating top notch 147 fighters as well

You can say what you want, but yes, plenty knowledgeable posters in here had Gamboa up 4-0 after 4 rounds and of course Lampley/Kellerman/RJJ were saying that Crawford was receiving a boxing lesson as well. To the point where they thought he needed a KO to win.....which he did end up getting.

All in all, it was a good win against a solid opponent....but not enough for me to just deem Crawford as up next or that people at 140 should be nervous. It was NOT a dominant victory for him and he admitted himself that he was fighting an undersized fighter who had no firepower

same fukkin level. that couldve been a lot of people in Bradley's position. him and Devon were at the same level then DKP put Devon on the shelf for a year while this nikka breached contract and ducked Khan to face Abregu (Pac)
take away Pac and JMM and his resume is no better than Devon's or Swift....actually prob less. you blatantly ignore how he is a TR flunky with no drawing power. his sole purpose for TR has been to be a fallback plan for Pac or JMM. and he got a gift against Pac...how many times nikkas gotta be reminded of that?

get excited over beating up on ancient muthafukkas like Campbell and Casamayor brehs

K breh resume not better than Alexanders or Swifts. And khan one time and thurman would all beat him right Thanks for the valuable insight

 

[mr. smoke weed]

this is a matter of opinion, if you dont agree thats cool but Ward has dominated better opposition. Bradley resume is nothing special...just has 2 really big names on it. Ward's resume doesnt have those types of names....but those are good fighters he is beating and he is not struggling with them at all. What has Bradley accomplished that no one else has besides getting a fight with Pac. Swift's resume got the same names on it minus the two HOFers. drained or not....destroying the LHW champ at 168 still better than outboxing a 39 year old ex featherweight at 147. its just that JMM for obvious reasons is a bigger name than Dawson.

Compare a drained fukking Chad Dawnson to JMM at his highest point, brehs(post pac knockout), and Superman beat Dawson in much more spectacular fashion, Ward's 2nd best win is fukkin Froch breh.

By Edward Chaykovsky

WBO lightweight champion Terence Crawford (24-0, 17KOs) is potentially going to stick around at 135-pounds. On Saturday night he had the biggest win of his pro career, a ninth round knockout of Olympic gold medal winner Yuriorkis Gamboa (23-1, 16KOs) before a crowd of nearly 11,000 fans at the CenturyLink Center in Omaha.

Before the fight, Crawford said Gamboa was going to be his final match at lightweight. Now he's going to leave that decision in the hands of his co-managers, who are likely going to review his best options to make money at 135 and 140.

Top Rank has several fights at 140, like WBA/IBO champion Jessie Vargas, WBO champion Chris Algieri and Ruslan Provodnikov, but many of the name fighters at 140 are managed by Al Haymon and under contract with rival promoter Golden Boy Promotions.

"I'll leave [my decision on whether I move up in weight] to my managers, Brian McIntyre and Cameron Dunkin, they are my two managers. They have been doing everything in their power for me. They've been making the right decisions for me. If their decision is for me to stay at 135 or to go up - then it's on them," Crawford said.

Don't make decisions for yourself brehs.......

Bradley has the better resume but Ward is the better boxer and it's not even close.

SOG wouldn't go life and death with mid card boxers like Ruslan but that ain't none of my business.

Alright, I'm about to rant

First & Foremost, Crawford did a great job & did what he had to do. He deserves full credit for the win, as Gamboa is one of the more talented guys around his weight class.

I had a feeling Gamboa was gonna lose this fight. I will now tell you my problem with Gamboa. It's his inactivity & the fact he's even at 135. I believe the whole point of moving his small ass through weight classes was to fast track his way to a Pacquaio fight. That's what TR was pushing for at the time & although he moved on to SMS now, SMS & TR have a good relationship. After his uninspiring debut at 135, they should have moved his ass back down.

When I look at boxing man, I see a lot of poor management of fighters. I mean just basic shyt. Trying to move fighters through weight classes too quickly just for financial reasons. I just hate looking at careers with absolutely no structure,

I've stated I'm not a Danny Garcia fan, but I've always respected the way his Dad has had an influence on his career, as far as development. After his last fight, his team was like okay we need to fall back. If you think about it, we are in an era in boxing where you can be a linear title holder, but not necessarily be done with the developmental stage as a fighter. Because if you notice, Danny was developing at a slow pace like any other fighter & when the Khan opportunity came up & he won, it opened up opportunities for bigger pays, thus your forced to take on tougher fights that your team normally wouldn't want you to take yet. There's pressure on him to go to 147, but it's delayed, because his Dad knows it isn't the right move. It's smart management, He has to get better at his craft. It's an interesting situation when you have title holders that need to develop. A linear champ should not be fighting Salka, but I get it.

Look at Broner. He was in the development stage & his greedy ass team had him jump 2 weight classes. From Gavin Rees to 147. The shyt just doesn't make sense.

I know Guerrero gets a lot of hate on here for whatever reason, but he was able to pull it off, because he had been a professional much longer. He's been a pro for about 13 years as opposed to Broner's 5-6 years.

Anyone who thinks Bradley is better than Ward is better off watching fishing shows.
